Lyrics

[Verse 1]
They say sing what you know
But I've sung what they want
Some folks do what they're told
But baby, this time I won't
We'll look through that door
I know the truth from lie
Some things I've done before
I can't justify
[Verse 2]
There are kings in my past
Things no one can be proud of
But I stand in the light I've cast
Turn away from any lack of love
Oh, when I walk through that door
I say here I go
You see me and nothing before
The more I'm singing what I know
[Verse 3]
I know better
I know better
[Verse 4]
Legend is just a name
I know better than to be so proud
I won't drink in all this fame
Or take more love than I'm allowed
I won't hide or cut it off from where it came
My history has brought me to this place
This power in the color of my face
[Verse 5]
And I know better
I know better
[Verse 6]
Oh, I'll rise from the floor if I don't win
I'll bust open that door, so let me in
And if music choose me to sing, I'll let her
I'll sing what I know, yes
[Verse 7]
I know better
Oh, I know better
Yes
I know better
I know better
